Will Eminem Put Out Another Album Soon?

‘We’re constantly working and we never know what projects the things we’re working on will land,’ producer Alex Da Kid tells MTV News. By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by Matt Elias Eminem Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images Eminem took a five-year break between albums before he released Relapse and Recovery in consecutive years. Now, with two handfuls of Grammy nominations , will the Detroit lyricist be putting out another album anytime soon? According to Alex Da Kid, who produced Em’s “Love the Way You Lie,” the veteran MC is always working, so it’s within the realm of possibility. “We’re constantly working and we never know what projects the things we’re working on will land,” he told MTV News. “But we have great musical chemistry, so he’s someone I pray to work with for the rest of my career, hopefully. “I think he’s in a great position where [he and Dr. Dre] can make music,” he continued. “And whenever they feel like it, they can put it out. There’s not a label telling them what to do, because they’ve been so successful, so it’s really up to him.” Eminem will be plenty busy this year whether he puts out a new project or not. He announced last week two new signings to Shady Records: underground supergroup Slaughterhouse and upstart rapper Yelawolf . Em called the acquisitions the next leg in his company’s evolution, from D12 and Cashis (both still signed to the label) to Yelawolf and his new collective, which features Joe Budden, Royce Da 5’9″, Joell Ortiz and Crooked I. “Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse, it’s kinda phase two of Shady,” Eminem explained in a statement. “It’s the new generation of Shady Records, and as we’re trying to rebuild our label, it’s exciting for hip-hop, and with all of these forces coming together and with what everybody’s capable of on the mic, it’s gonna be fun.” Do you want to see a new album from Eminem already?

FYI: Detroit Police Are On The Hunt For A “Monster” That Has Been Viciously Attacking Women All Year

The Detroit Police Department has been tracking a serial sexual assault predator since the 1st of the year. It’s crazy to think that someone can get away with attacks like this time after time and still not be caught or even have an idea of who he really is. Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee says that his investigators are still intensely searching for a what he called the monster that has been attacking women on the city’s northeast side. “I think we all have the same goal in mind, and that’s to bring this predator to justice,” Godbee said. “We’re not going to stop until we catch this individual.” He said there have been seven confirmed sexual assaults and one attempted assault since the first of the year. 1/1: 19100 block of E. 7 Mile at 5:54 a.m. 1/1: 14200 Gratiot Avenue at 6:15 a.m. 1/4: Gratiot and Linhurst area at 3:45 a.m. 1/5: 14000 block of Hazelridge at 10:30 p.m. 1/6: 18000 block of Schoenherr at 11 p.m. 1/8: Cadieux and I-94 area at 4:30 a.m. 1/10: Hollywood and Woodward area at 7:40 p.m. 1/14: 9000 block of Beaconsfield at 2:40 a.m. The last reported attack was Jan. 13. He said the victims have all been women between the ages of 17 and 33. He said the attacks have been linked to a possible serial rapist because all of incidents have similar elements that suggest their attacker’s modus operandi. He said all of the women have been attacked while they were alone; most of them had been waiting for or walking to bus stops. The rapist forces them at gunpoint to secluded locations where they are robbed and sexually assaulted, Godbee said. The Police in Detroit better find this guy, the city has enough trouble as it is without some sick, rapist, bastard going around terrorizing people. Source

Editor’s note: Though TreeHugger normally writes about the environmental aspects of yoga, over the weekend Jessica wondered whether a religious group can really own yoga , referring to an awareness campaign about the origins of yoga by the Hindu American Foundation . Well, HAF contacted us asking if they could reply to the Jessica’s article, which seemed only fair — even if we’re momentarily deviating from our normal green-themed content.
